Training a new generation of vaccinologists

这是第三个周期(11-15年)已建立的埃默里大学的续期申请 疫苗接种培训计划T32(VTP-T32)于2009年启动。埃默里大学 继续处于独特的地位，培养一批基础、翻译和临床科学家 在疫苗相关研究方面拥有前沿、多学科的专业知识。 教员具有广泛的专业知识和指导经验，这是至关重要的。 培养新一代的疫苗接种专家。所有教官都隶属于各部门。 而埃默里的项目，包括埃默里医学院和公共卫生学院， 埃默里疫苗中心和埃默里-佐治亚理工学院联合生物医学 埃默里大学工程(BME)系。教官有丰富的培训经验。 跨越不同的疫苗学科，包括微生物学、免疫学、传染病、 公共卫生、病理学、儿科学、流行病学、行为学、全球卫生、实施 科学和卫生政策。 学员接受正式和非正式的教育、职业指导和行为指导。 研究。我们的学员将获得成功的技能和背景。 疫苗学领袖。每个受训者选择一个有深度指导的研究项目 来自六个研究培训部门之一的导师：1)发病机制和疫苗发现； 2)先天和获得性免疫(对细菌、原生动物和病毒抗原的免疫反应)；3) 翻译和交付；4)疫苗流行病学和临床试验；5)实施科学和 卫生政策；6)疫苗安全(疾控中心资助的专门时段)。每个实习生都参加 两门综合研究生水平必修课，侧重于 疫苗学，以及负责任的研究行为(伦理学)第三门必修课。这个 具体目标是： Emory VTP-T32的具体目标包括： 1-继续实施我们的系统方法，以确定、招聘和留住 极高的积极性和多样化的博士后实习生进入VTP-T32。 2-为每位学员提供最好的正规和非正规疫苗教育， 指导研究项目和职业指导。 3-继续整合强大的基础科学、转化研究、实施 埃默里的科学、临床试验和疫苗政策计划纳入多方面的培训 体验，产生一个比各个部分之和更大的协同整体。

This is a renewal application for the third cycle (years 11-15) of the established Emory Vaccinology Training Program T32 (VTP-T32) which was initiated in 2009. Emory University continues to be uniquely positioned to train a cadre of basic, translational, and clinical scientists with cutting edge, multi-disciplinary expertise in vaccinology-related research. The faculty preceptors have the breadth of expertise and mentoring experience that are critical for training a new generation of vaccinologists. All preceptors are affiliated with departments and programs at Emory, which include the Emory Schools of Medicine and Public Health, the Emory Vaccine Center and the joint Emory-Georgia Institute of Technology Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department at Emory. The preceptors have extensive training experience across varied vaccinology disciplines, including microbiology, immunology, infectious diseases, public health, pathology, pediatrics, epidemiology, behavior, global health, implementation science, and health policy. The fellows receive formal and informal education, career mentoring, and conduct mentored research. Our trainees acquire the skills and background necessary to succeed as future vaccinology leaders. Each trainee selects an in depth mentored research project with a preceptor from one of six Research Training Sections: 1) Pathogenesis & Vaccine Discovery; 2) Innate & Adaptive Immunity (immune responses to bacterial, protozoal, & viral antigens); 3) Translation & Delivery; 4) Vaccine Epidemiology & Clinical Trials; 5) Implementation Science & Health Policy; 6) Vaccine Safety (a dedicated CDC funded slot). Every trainee participates in two required comprehensive graduate level courses emphasizing different aspects of vaccinology, and the third required course in Responsible Conduct of Research (Ethics). The specific goals are: The specific aims of the Emory VTP-T32 include: 1- To continue implementing our systematic approach for identifying, recruiting and retaining superb motivated, and diverse post-doctoral trainees into the VTP-T32. 2- To provide each trainee with the best formal and informal vaccinology education, a robust mentored research project, and career mentoring. 3- To continue integrating the strong basic science, translational research, implementation science, clinical trials, and vaccine policy programs at Emory into a multi-faceted training experience, producing a synergistic whole greater than the sum of its individual parts.
